11. Addressing the water shortage
A cost effective analysis is to be carried out
OPTION 1
Build a reverse osmosis plant
OPTION 2
Build community water tanks
OPTION 3
Option 1 +
Option 2
OPTION 4
Increase the water storage capacity of the households
OPTION 5
Continue to transport water during the time of shortage
Please note that taking no action and letting household deal with the shortages on their own is not an option. – No project is NOT an option

12. Current progress
We have carried out household survey of water consumption and health.
With the help of demographic statistics and climate change projections, future water demand for Ihavandhoo has been forecasted.

13. Way Forward Continue cleaning the data Carry out a clinic survey.
Calculate the costs involved in ALL options.
Health benefits to be assessed for option 1
Complete the cost effective analysis
Request Ms. Mariana to send Dr. Benoit to Maldives
Prepare the final report and presentation

14. Lessons Learnt
Addressing Climate change impacts not only a job of climate scientists, SHOULD be multi-disciplinary
Making economic analysis is not only job of economists, also multi-disciplinary
Economic way of thinking should be a part of addressing climate change issues
